The only real exception is the Grand Highblood. The Handmaid had another title that's almost never used, The Demoness. The Condesce had a variety of titles not conforming to the pattern, such as Empress, Batterwitch, and Her Imperious Condescension. The pattern seems to mostly be a coincidence, used only by Mindfang's journal and those who read it, instead of a hard and fast rule.

Another exception - Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. Spinneret has 9 letters, though I wonder if this was a mistake from Hussie more than anything.

Actually, that isn't a mistake. Spinneret Mindfang was indeed her name. But the 8 letter patterns weren't used for names, it was only that way for TITLES. And her title was Marquise, which is indeed 8 letters in total.

It is a specific ranking of old English or French nobility. A Marquise was the title for a wife of a Marquess.

The Calsprite (from the doomed timeline whose Dave becomes Davesprite) has a smuppet-laden mouth laser. Lord English has spacetime-shattering mouth lasers. The foreshadowing was so subtle it's almost not even there.

The idea I have is rooted way too deep in headcanon category so feel free to ignore it or cringe or laugh.

There is only one Summoner. Or Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. Or Disciple.

Even every empress could have her own title, like Her Imperious Condescension instead of just empress or something.

What if Grand High Blood is a title that should always exist? Like, there always should be a big bad highblood to help spread the anarchy so Condesce would rule over the divided people. I nother words, when current GHB dies then the successor becomes the new one. and that's why his name is not 8 letters compliant. It is not a personal name/title.
